Since time of release is really near, I am wondering if @Waxberry has noticed @Hyrum (creator of the Game Gripper) attempting to contact him? I'm sure there are quite a few people who would love a Game Gripper for the Pro1 :).

I had so much fun making game grippers ~10years ago. I'd be open to making some for the pro1. One problem is I live in the USA and this seems to be primarily an EU phone. I'd probably need to track down my old EU partner or even better if fxtec would distribute them.

I tried connecting with those guys on LinkedIn about the pro1 but no reply. 

For a little history, the game gripper came before we had decent Bluetooth game pads. Once they stopped making high end phones with slide out keyboards the game gripper stopped selling and I went back to work.

If not too expensive I'd get one too.

I'd definitely get one too.

But I don't really see where you'd put a D-pad since the keyboard isn't ortholinear. It's either gonna be very narrow, very wide or asymmetric which might be a little awkward to use.

Well, t does not entirely follow the standard qwerty staggering. The first and third letter rows are aligned, and the second close to a half key displaced, so actually it is almost perfect for a D-dad.

Below the subtle displacements it would require to turn it into standard, keeping the lower letter row fixed. But for a D-pad that would be worse....

I'd pay $30 USD to try out a game gripper for this device.

@ken5457 Is this photo editing or have you really acquired/created these bits of mad genius??! That is super-slick either way!

I designed the gamepad panel for fx pro1，currently only photo editing，because I don't have this phone.

 

Maybe one day I got this phone and I will turn it into reality, just like on other phones，sk17i，BlackBerry keyone，priv，etc.

 

fx pro1 has great potential to become a game phone.

There are some other mobile phone keyboards that are changed to gamepads，moto xt894 xt897.

Show you some photos

While that's cool and all, did those ever go anywhere? This thread is about the Game Gripper, a proven concept, people wish to be able to easily buy at some point.
Your stuff also looks like it's using parts from console/controllers and is a permanent modification of the keyboard. I assume most people are looking for something to just put on sometimes instead.

Nah, you just buy ten Pro1s, and modify the nine with various DIY keyboard-replacements. I'm sure F(x)Tec would be very happy if a lot did that.... 😜

You can! They'll just send you one before the others. I'm sure they'd appreciate an order for 9 more. :)
